Each year the American Kidney Fund honors people who inspire us in the fight against kidney disease. Do you know a dialysis or transplant patient with an inspirational story? Nominate him or her for our 2013 Hero of Hope award, which we’ll present at our gala, The Hope Affair, on Oct. 29 in Washington, D.C.

Chicago proclaimed May 11 as Kidney Action Day in the Windy City, and a lineup of elected officials turned out to help the American Kidney Fund reach people at risk for kidney disease. A celebrity chef, a fitness trainer to the stars and the White Sox mascot entertained the crowd. Watch a slideshow of the event.

The Disaster Relief Program is providing emergency grants to help dialysis patients affected by recent tornadoes and other disasters. Funds are used to replace medications, food and household items and pay for essentials, such as transportation to dialysis if they have been displaced.
